Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1063: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here
The drunkard dared not make a sound, his gaze even more afraid to meet Qing Yi’s, like a child who made a mistake, waiting for Qing Yi’s criticism.
If he had the strength to run at this moment, he would definitely escape.
Because he really didn’t want him to see him in this wretched state.
Finally, Qing Yi withdrew his gaze, pulled a chair over to sit by the bed, and looked at the insulated box on the bedside table, reaching over to pick it up.
He opened the box, took a spoon from the lid’s inner layer, stirred the porridge once, then scooped up half a spoonful and brought it to the drunkard’s mouth.
These actions, he did with extraordinary stiffness and difficulty.
The drunkard glanced up uneasily at Qing Yi as the porridge reached his mouth, and seeing Qing Yi looking at him silently, he felt very apprehensive inside.
He opened his mouth, taking in the porridge at his lips.
Qing Yi still said nothing, just continued to feed him spoonful by spoonful.
The drunkard didn’t dare to speak either, just watched him and kept eating spoon by spoon.
As he ate, tears uncontrollably started to fall.
Seeing him cry, Qing Yi’s hand holding the spoon paused, his heart feeling as if it were being sliced by a knife.
He put the spoon down and reached out to wipe away his tears.
"...Are you mad at me?" the drunkard choked out the question.
Qing Yi shook his head slightly: "..."
"Then why aren’t you speaking?"
Qing Yi opened his mouth slightly but still said nothing.
"...You must be mad at me, you never ignored me before."
Qing Yi still shook his head: "...No, you know I couldn’t bear it."
In an instant, the drunkard’s tears flowed even more fiercely.
Yes, he was such a good-tempered person, how could he be mad at him, how could he bear to ignore him.
"Don’t cry." Qing Yi scrambled to wipe away his tears.
"Don’t be afraid, everything will be okay, it will get better."
"...Sorry, I deceived you."
"It’s okay, it’s okay." Qing Yi kept comforting him, but the more he comforted, the more the drunkard’s emotions spiraled out of control. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
All the helplessness, fear, and despair he had faced alone during this time slowly erupted at this moment.
He was like a child who had been bullied outside and came home filled with grievances, finding solace.
"It hurts, doesn’t it?" Qing Yi caressed his somewhat sharp face, his heart aching so much it felt suffocating.
The drunkard, tears flowing, shook his head: "...It doesn’t hurt, I’m just scared..."
"Don’t be scared, I’m here, brother is here."
"I’m afraid I’ll never see you again, I’m afraid you’ll keep waiting for me, I’m afraid you’ll think I’m heartless, leaving just like that, afraid you’ll have hope in me..."
"I won’t let you leave, no matter where you go, I will definitely find you."
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to deceive you..."
"It was my fault for not taking good care of you, for not realizing you were sick earlier, I thought you just wanted to return home."
The thought of the drunkard enduring the suffering of illness alone in the hospital, with no one to care for him, made Qing Yi wish he could slap himself twice.
The Second People’s Hospital isn’t far from Wu Garden or the company.
Yet he hadn’t noticed at all.
The thought that the doctor just mentioned he wanted to give up treatment, thinking that one day he might quietly leave without him knowing, waiting foolishly, left Qing Yi with a feeling of dread.
"I have no home, nowhere to return to..."
This sentence from the drunkard was more than Qing Yi could bear, and tears began to fall from his eyes as well.
"It’s okay, wherever I am, that’s home."
